With the 3 day weekend, I was finally able to get out for a fossil hunt! I was located mostly around Utica NY. Day 1: I started at the bottom of the ocean with a benthic Triarthus site near Little Falls. After some literally prickly encounters getting down to the river, I pulled the thorns out of myself and had a beautiful little spot! Naturally the in-tact shale was on the opposite bank, so I had a nice cool wade on a hot summers day and thoroughly soaked my boots. The voyage was well worthwhile I’ve never worked with shale this clean before. One piece was 3x3 feet, and with the slightest tap, you could flip through the “pages” like an enormous stone book. to start us off here are some photos of the site and some finds. Help with ID on the algae/sponges accompanying the Triarthus trilo-bits is much appreciated! Any tips on prepping these Triarthus too? The shale is thin and they seem to be mostly upside down.
